2 Hour Private Sunset Cruise on Luxury Motor Boat with Drinks
Tenerife looks different from the water at sunset. On this private two-hour cruise, you leave Puerto Colón Marina aboard a luxury motorboat, follow the coast, and raise a glass of champagne as the light fades. The boat is yours to share with your group, not a mixed crowd.
I like two things here: the private setting, which suits a proposal or birthday as well as a quiet evening for two, and the drinks package, with unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks alongside snacks and fruit. One point to weigh is the price: $921.15 is a substantial bill for two hours, though a group of 10 can split it.
Quick points before you book

- A private boat for up to 10: Your group has the motorboat to itself, so the mood and pace can feel more personal than on a shared cruise.
- A two-hour coastal outing: The trip departs from Puerto Colón Marina and returns to the same meeting point.
- Sunset with a champagne toast: A glass of champagne is included, along with light refreshments, snacks, and fruit.
- Unlimited drinks: Beer, wine, and soft drinks are included, which can help you avoid a running bar tab.
- A crew with names to know: Jose and Juan are the crew members associated with the cruise, and guests describe them as friendly, attentive, and good at making the trip feel personal.
- Special touches by request: Dinner, cakes, and flowers can be arranged if you want to mark an occasion. Ask the provider about options and any extra cost.
Leaving Puerto Colón for the coast

The cruise begins at Av. de Colón, 5, in Costa Adeje, at Puerto Colón Marina. It is a straightforward starting point if you are already staying nearby, and the activity ends back at the same meeting place. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so plan your own way to and from the marina.
Once aboard, the plan is simple: head out for about two hours, take in views of Tenerife’s coast, and enjoy the boat, snacks, and drinks. You are not following a long list of scheduled stops. The point is the time on the water itself, with room to sit back, watch the coast pass, and enjoy the changing evening light.
The trip also sets out to explore marine life. That gives you another reason to keep an eye on the water, but it is not a promise of a particular sighting. If spotting wildlife is important to you, think of it as a possible bonus rather than the main event.
A motorboat is a good fit if you want a relaxed coastal outing without spending the whole evening at sea. The two-hour length gives you a proper break from shore without turning the cruise into a full-day commitment. It is also short enough to pair with dinner plans afterward, although the timing of the sunset and your schedule will matter.

A private cruise changes the mood
The boat is reserved for your party, with a maximum group size of 10. That distinction matters most for couples and small groups. A private cruise for two can feel intimate, while a larger party can celebrate together without sharing the space with strangers.
Privacy also gives the experience more flexibility in tone. You can treat it as a special occasion, or simply take a quiet break from the resort routine. The crew is there to run the trip and look after your group, but the outing is not described as a formal guided tour with a set lecture or sightseeing script.
Jose and Juan are named as the crew, and their contribution is a recurring feature of the experience. They are described as friendly and attentive, with one couple noting that the captain made the trip feel personal even with only two people aboard. That kind of service can make a private boat feel welcoming rather than stiff or showy.
The motorboat itself is described as lovely, and the cruise is presented as a luxury experience. The available details do not specify the boat’s layout, seating, or onboard facilities, so ask the operator directly if those details matter to you, especially for a group with particular comfort needs.
Champagne, snacks, and an easy evening

The included drink package is a practical part of the value. You get a glass of champagne, plus unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks. Snacks and light refreshments are included, with fruit mentioned as part of the spread.
For two hours at sea, that is enough to make the outing feel hosted rather than simply rented. You do not need to plan a separate bar stop during the cruise or pay for each drink as you go. Still, unlimited drinks do not mean a full meal is provided. If you expect dinner, arrange it in advance rather than assuming the snacks will take its place.
One couple reported having two bottles of bubbly on their trip, but the stated inclusion is a glass of champagne. I would treat that as a detail from one particular outing, not a guaranteed amount for every booking. If a champagne toast is central to your plans, confirm exactly what is included before you pay.
Vegetarian food is available if you advise the provider when booking. The food details are otherwise fairly broad, so let them know about dietary needs and ask what refreshments they can provide. For a birthday or other celebration, dinner, cakes, and flowers can also be arranged on request. Confirm the choices, price, and notice needed directly with Tenerife Sailing Charters S.L.
Sunset views without a crowded bar

The strongest reason to choose this cruise is the setting. From the water, you get a different angle on Tenerife’s coast than you do from a restaurant terrace or a shore-side promenade. As the sunset becomes the focus, the boat gives your group space to watch the sky and coastline together rather than compete for a view in a busy venue.
The experience is not a sightseeing tour with a detailed list of named landmarks. The description promises coastal views and time to explore the marine environment, but does not specify a fixed route or particular sights. That makes the cruise a better choice for the atmosphere of being out on the water than for ticking off specific points of interest.
Sunset is also a natural draw for proposals, birthdays, and other occasions. The crew can help make the outing feel personal, and the option to request flowers, cake, or dinner gives you a way to build a celebration around it. Those extras are not part of the basic package, so ask about them before booking rather than leaving arrangements to the last minute.
Weather matters. The cruise requires good conditions, and poor weather can lead to a different date or a full refund. A sunset plan is less flexible than a casual daytime activity, so it is worth keeping a backup dinner or evening plan in mind.

Is $921.15 good value?

The price is $921.15 for the group, up to 10 people. It is not a low-cost activity, but the per-person calculation changes sharply with group size. At the maximum of 10, the cost works out to about $92 per person. For two, it is more than $460 each, before transport to the marina or any optional extras.
That is why I would judge the value by the kind of evening you want, not by comparing it with a standard boat trip. You are paying for a private boat, a dedicated crew, two hours on the water, a champagne glass, snacks, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks. For a group celebration, those inclusions can make the price easier to justify. For a couple, it is a splurge for privacy and a special setting.
The private format is particularly useful if you would rather not share a boat with other groups. A shared cruise may cost less, but it cannot offer the same control over who is aboard or the same personal feel. On the other hand, if your main goal is simply to see the sunset from the water, compare the total cost with other local boat options before deciding.
The activity is booked, on average, about nine days ahead. That is useful planning context, not a guarantee that you can book at the last minute. If you want a particular date for a birthday or proposal, it makes sense to arrange it early and confirm any add-ons at the same time.
Who will enjoy this most

I would put this cruise high on the list for a couple celebrating a special occasion, a family or group that values private space, or friends who want an easy evening out without arranging their own drinks. It also works for someone who wants a short taste of Tenerife from the water rather than a full sailing day.
It may be less appealing if you are watching your budget, want a substantial dinner included, or need a tightly planned sightseeing route. The known itinerary is broad: coastal views, a marine-life outing, refreshments, and sunset. If your priority is a specific landmark or a particular wildlife encounter, ask the operator what route and conditions to expect.
Most people can take part, and service animals are allowed. The activity is near public transportation, but hotel transfers are not provided. If you need details about the boat itself or have a specific access requirement, check directly with the provider before booking, since those details are not specified here.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, and poor weather may lead to a new date or a full refund. Keep those terms in mind when building the cruise into a special evening.
Should you book the Tenerife sunset cruise?

Book it if you want the sunset to be the occasion, not just the backdrop. A private boat, a crew led by Jose and Juan, and included drinks make this a strong choice for a birthday, proposal, or small group celebration. The personal service and easy, two-hour format are its biggest strengths.
Think twice if you are booking for only one or two people and price is a concern, or if you expect a full meal or a wildlife sighting. For a group that can share the cost, the package makes more financial sense. For a couple, it is best treated as a premium treat, with any extra celebration details confirmed in advance.
